I am ashamed to be a Democrat right now.......

[ProudMNDemocrat]

With the Senate Democrats calling for the sacrifice of a good man from Minnesota and my friend, Al Franken, to leave the Senate without trial or questioning from his accusers, I am ashamed. Ashamed for a Party and people I have placed trust in.

All the while, the sanctiminious pious hypocritical Republicans, back a child molester in Alabama and sexual predator president who have demonized their accusers, done far worse to them than Al is accused of doing, threatened them with lawsuits, and will more than likely get away scott free with nary a slap on the wrist. Where will the Democrats be then?

SHAME on the Democrats. If Al resigns, I will refuse to donate one penny to any Senate or House Democrat in office now who will not take the same stand against Blake Farenthold, Roy Moore, and Donald Trump.

3. Im as on board with the party as I have ever been.

We are starting to show progress in elections across the board, our platform kicks ass, and the number of people becoming more open to social government actions as the answer is growing.

8. Beg to differ

It seems more likely that Dems are succeeding DESPITE the Party, not because of it. It's only the well-deserved anti-Trump rage that had gotten Dems anywhere so far.

The Party leadership continues to work against real success. They are outmaneuvered at every turn, and unwilling to step aside.

10. I fully disagree with your overall premise.

I do agree we are getting assistance from Republicans. We are clearly using it to our advantage.

4. We need to adhere to our principles, even when it hurts to do so. nt

5. So, help elect more Republicans? That'll teach them a lesson.

7. Tell that to the GANG of 38 when Frankens seat gets FLIPPED in 11 months.........

Oh yeah...I'll be waiting on their BLANKET statement from all 38 DEMANDING that Trump resign and the Roy Moore campaign be ended as of today. What will we hear from them??


crickets.........................

9. What's your basis for saying that the seat will be flipped?

6. I am too, AGAIN.

We never fucking fight for anything.
